You may add to a Pioneer mutual fund account through any securities broker/dealer that has a selling agreement with Pioneer Funds Distributor, Inc. And, Pioneer provides several other convenient methods for investing.

Whichever method you select, please keep in mind the following guidelines:

Read the fund's prospectus before you invest or send money. It contains additional
information about the fund, including sales charges and expenses.

Your investment must meet the minimum investment amount for the selected fund and class
of shares. Refer to the fund's prospectus for the applicable investment minimums.

Separate minimum investment requirements apply to retirement plans and to telephone and
wire orders placed for you by broker/dealers.

Shares will be purchased at the public offering price - that is, the net asset value per
share plus any applicable sales charge - next determined after we receive your complete
purchase request. If your complete request is received after the close of the New York
Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), shares will be purchased using the price
of the next business day.

Purchasing Additional Shares by Mail

You may purchase shares by sending us a check, payable to Pioneer Investment Management Shareholder Services, Inc., with your investment slip. If you do not have an investment slip handy, include your instructions with your name, address, 14-digit Pioneer account number and telephone number. Mail your investment to Pioneer Investment Management Shareholder Services (PIMSS), P.O. Box 55014, Boston, MA 02205-5014.

Purchasing Additional Shares Online

If your account is registered in your name, you may be able to buy, exchange or sell fund shares online. Your investment firm may also be able to buy, exchange or sell your fund shares online.

You can use the online purchase privilege if you have an existing non-retirement account. If your account is eligible, you can purchase additional fund shares online if:

You established your bank account of record at least 30 days ago

Your bank information has not changed for at least 30 days

You are not purchasing more than $100,000 worth of shares per account per day

You can provide the proper account identification information

When you request an online purchase, the transfer agent will electronically debit the amount of the purchase from your bank account of record. The transfer agent will purchase fund shares for the amount of the debit at the offering price determined after the transfer agent receives your online purchase instruction and good funds. It usually takes three business days for the transfer agent to receive notification from your bank that good funds are available in the amount of your investment.

To use online transactions, you must read and agree to the terms of an online transaction agreement. When you or your investment firm requests an online transaction, this requires an authorizing password and sends a written confirmation. The fund may implement other procedures from time to time. Different procedures may apply if you have a non-U.S. account or if your account is registered in the name of an institution, broker-dealer or other third party. You may not be able to use the online transaction privilege for certain types of accounts, including most retirement accounts.

For more information about exchanging shares online, please see any Pioneer fund prospectus. They are available on this site.
